I am assisting a small newly established international school with its first graduating class and so I am developing official school transcripts. My question has to do with the calculation and display of transfer student's gpa. Should I simply display their gpa from their prior institution and then display their gpa at our institution keeping these separate or should I combine their gpa to express a cumulative gps?
I'd do neither. I'd display your GPA alone. You don't want two GPAs - schools can be compared by the students' GPAs. I'd out the courses taken at your school and the GPA they earned at your school - that's how colleges do it.
These scholarships may be for summer, semester, gap and /or year long study exchanges for the study of the hard languages. The application deadline is October 30th. Please, post on your Facebooks and websites, pass this info on to others, plus the media in your area to assist in getting the word to your area folks.

I am trying to find curriculum to introduce the concept of empathy to first graders. I hoped to do the new program, "Roots of Empathy," in which classes "adopt" and attach to an infant throughout his first year of development but the cost is too high. Any suggestions on materials would be greatly appreciated!

She was invited to visit her new boyfriend at the beach for a day while he was on vacation for 8 days with mixed-gender friends she didn't know. She's typically shy. After the beach day (which included his family and sibs) he told her to go home because he was tired and wanted to shower. In the 1.5 hours that it took for me to get there, she realized he was planning to go out to the boardwalk with his friends all night, and she was not welcome. She's never been to the boardwalk before, and thought that since he was with his friends all week, he'd be thrilled to see her, and would give her a few hours of his time. My problem is: I feel as if I raised her to be a doormat! She somehow thinks she did something wrong, (she texted h an apology for "being in his way")and that this behavior (which seems like bullying by exclusion) is OK! She texted and called him over the next 3 hours, and he didn't bother to leave his friends to come talk to her until midnight when the boardwalk closed. He met her (without me around) and she seemed happy afterwards. Can I help her see the light? Any counseling advice? She does NOT give freely of herself usually (there were plenty of boys who would have been "over the moon" to be with her, but for some reason, this kid won her heart, she opened herself up, and got "kicked to the curb" in front of his group of friends. It's eating me alive and I feel like I have to let her make her own choices, but OMG…. for such a smart girl (ranked #1 in her class of 700) she is OK with being disrespected, uninvited, and made a fool of? Please help me, and her!
"The last time I checked, a web search for the phrases 'everyone gets a trophy' and 'trophies just for showing up' produced more than 700,000 hits. The links mostly point to expressions of outrage that a thanks-for-playing token might be given to all the kids on the field — in contrast to the good old days, when recognition was permitted only for the conquering heroes. That’s a lot of hating to be directed at loving cups..."
